recommended. Using speaker wire larger than 14 gauge for
the ABA-1D connections is not recommended — the wire
may not fit into the connectors. Never use solid-core, alu-
minum, or "Romex" type wire with the ABA-1D. When run-
ning speaker wires inside walls, most states and municipalities
in the U.S. specify that you must use a special type of speaker
wire. Usually, the requirement is that the wire has a specific
"CL" fire rating, such as "CL-2" or "CL-3". Consult your Niles
dealer, building contractor, or local building and inspection
department if unsure about which type of wire is best for
your application.
ABA-1D Mounting Location
Convenient mounting locations for the ABA-1D are:
Near entry-ways or exits
Near a desk
At your bedside
Close to a telephone
Near other wall controls (see caution below)
DO NOT INSTALL THE ABA-1D INTO ELECTRICAL BOXES
WITH 110 VOLT DEVICES.
Some states or municipalities allow devices such as the ABA-
1D to be installed into the same electrical box as 110 volt

the AWG number,
the larger the wire,
i.e., 12 AWG wire is
physically larger
than 14 AWG.
